> A brand new Model 3 will do 310 miles of range. Only you're not supposed to use the top 10% or bottom 10% unless you absolutely have to, to avoid damaging the battery. So now it's 248 miles of range. Unless it's extremely cold or hot, or you have a heavy foot, or you have a roof rack, or it's uphill... Where 200 miles might be more accurate.
This isn't much different from ICE cars mileage estimates. Getting the actual mileage out of my Subaru is possible if I'm very careful with the gas-pedal, don't have a bike on the back of the car, etc etc. If I drive at 70 miles an hour for the whole tank, my range drops by 15-20%.
